    I just got my T400 not a week ago and I see something wrong. Sometimes when I turn on my comp it gets me to the login screen where i enter in my password. I put the password in and it works perfecty fine and then all of the sudden the screen goes black. The laptop is still on and the screen is still lit up, but I cant do anything. So what I have to do is put it in sleep mode and back on again to make it work. Dont know what is going on just need some help. By the way I have Vista if that helps.

    Thanks.

    are you hooked up to an external monitor?

    have you tried reinstalling video drivers?
